Questions worth asking
Clear thinking before a larger commitment.
Can AI draft legal documents?
It can assist from approved precedents and verified facts, but a lawyer must review accuracy, applicability, strategy and client instructions.
What about hallucinated cases or authorities?
Never rely on generated citations without verification. Design the workflow around controlled research sources and explicit lawyer checking.
Can AI handle client intake without giving advice?
Yes, if it gathers limited factual context, avoids conclusions and provides a clear route to a legal professional.
